Faculty
Devoted teachers and scholars, Thayer School faculty engage both undergraduate and graduate students in learning to investigate, analyze, innovate, and communicate.

"Along with world-class research, what sets our faculty apart is their emphasis on teaching our students—both in the laboratory and in the classroom—to use technology to make a difference by solving the real and pressing problems that affect society every day."
—Joe Helble, Dean
